Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey guys

Just wanted to thank you all for your suggestions and let you know that all of your suggestions are included in the final blog post here.

I've thanked you all at the end

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Great shout Craig. Every now and then I'll find a "#" link on live websites. Looks careless and lazy!

Hey Dirk

Great advice! I'm a big fan of Screaming Frog too. A handy free tool especially for small startup websites.

Thanks for commenting

Not forgetting our own personal mobile devices too

We've used all of those

Others we use are Bootcamp, Virtualbox and we also use inspect element in chrome to emulate devices and remote inspect element using Safari.

Love all of these Fuel Interactive! All of which we do here too so it's pleasing to hear other agencies doing the same

I think cross-browser and cross-device QA is extremely important given the browsing habits of the modern day consumer.

Do you use any tools for cross-browser and cross-device QA?

Hey Michael,

Yes, an incorrect robots.txt is definitely more common than you would think.

I guess the overarching tip to the fetch and render function would be to register your site with Webmaster Tools and make use of their tools.

Thanks for sharing!

Linda - awesome tips!

Especially number 1. User testing is something that just isn't on some people's radar, yet it can unveil plenty of unforeseen usability issues.

Thanks for sharing

Hi guys

I'm looking for tips and advice to help prevent a startup website launch from embarrassment or disaster.

Couple of examples I have so far are:

1. Test contact and download forms
2. Check website for duplicate content, lorem ipsum and missing content
3. Check page load speed

What would be your best advice/tip(s) be?

Thanks

Anthony

@Anthony_Mac85

P.S. Just to be clear, I'm not looking for advice on how to growth hack a startup website launch.

Hi Marcus

Thanks for the reply.

Yeh I think you're right in that it needs to be reviewed on a case by case basis taking into account the goal of the page.

Off topic: Just checked out your latest blog post (cracking post btw!),clicked through to the kwfinder tool out of interest and the keyword data it returns for UK searches appear to be American? Have you tested the tool yourself? Do you find the same problem as me? Feel free to reply to me on Twitter given it's noting to do with this Q & A thread

Cheers!

Anthony

Thanks guys!

God I feel so stupid - I should have checked that. I got so obsessed about the magento/wordpress thing that checking the canonical completely slipped my mind!

Oh well at least if anyone else ever has the same problem, the resolution is here for all to see!

Take care,

Anthony

Hi Jasmine

Thought I had already replied yesterday - obviously not.

Thanks for the advice about optimizing for clicks and when to change to optimizie for conversions. All taken on board!

We are still in the negotiation period with the client but i'm definitely a lot more confident that we will do a good job for our client taking on the advice received here.

Thanks again

All the best

Anthony

I don't think you can but what you could do is downlod a csv report of the keyword rankings which will have the labels next to the keywords. You can then copy and paste the keywords in groups of labels into your new campaign. Obviously you will need to create your labels again in the new campaign. I hope this speeds things up a little for you
